Day by day
I'm on my second day, and it *****! Has anyone tried to go to work through the WDs? I was thinking about taking end of week off but I get more depressed at home. I stay busy at work but it's such a pain to wake up and if I don't get any sleep. I took melatonin and earlier a magnesium pill and I did get some sleep.
I tried going to work during withdrawals.... The first two weeks was hell I made it to work but having the energy to stand up was the worst. I'm on day 29 and still having troubles sleeping. Those first few days really take everything out of you so pay attention to your body.. even if you can lay down for a few minutes and get some shut eye it's better than nothing. All in all your body will rest when it really needs it so try to not stress about it. I came off of a high dose off methadone cold tturkey jot sure if you're tapering or what... I've been told no two methadone withdrawals are the same.. for me my back was Killin me, had to take hot baths constantly... I tried melatonin for sleep, passion flower for the anxiety during the day (when I could sstomach taking a pill) neither worked for me. Now I'm trying a natural sleep aid that has laverian root in it.. tried it last night and I was still up at 3. I feel your pain! Keep pushing we will be through it before you know it.
How was it getting sleep/getting outta bed?
Im day 10 5year oxy/vic detox...best day yet...actually smiled..paid some bills...that was :).
Day 3 this morning and it's soo hard to get up outta bed, slept ok with melatonin, keep pushing forward
Congratulations on your 2nd day, i hope it gets better for you : )
I had the weekend for the first two days. Then to work (one day work from home that first week). I was taking vicodin approx. 4-5/day. I found work to be a good distraction but had to take the Imodium and hide in my cubicle and play "virus" for a week. I have no experience with methadone. Best of luck to you!
